Portland Residents Turn Out To Send Strong Message To Government

Around 150 people were at a road safety forum in Portland this week to send a message to the State Government - that road surfaces across the south west needs to be improved.

Member for South West Coast and Shadow Minister for Rural Roads Roma Britnell says it was becoming harder and harder for Minister for Roads Jaala Pulford to ignore the messages being sent by the community at Road Safety
Forums across the state.

“The Minister keeps trying to say that road surfaces are not a major problem when it comes to road safety – but that’s not what the community is saying at these forums,”

“The government has called these forums to hear the views of the community, but despite the community saying very clearly they want road surfaces fixed – the Minister continues to brush that view aside,"

Ms Britnell says the Minister and the Labor Government must listen to what the community is saying at these forums and act to make significant improvements to road surfaces in the south-west.
